I don’t think another 9/11 will unite Americans how they’re thinking it will this time. I can imagine he thinks that there will be a grand incident in the US and everyone will unite behind him as our savior to stomp down the “big baddie” and he’ll be looked at as a hero.
That’s not gonna work this time. He’s too hated and will be looked at as the one who caused it and fracture even more. You can’t play that card twice.
